Summoning Animal: Quetzal Scroll Owner: Perception Other Users who have signed contract: N/A Summoning Boss if existing: N/A Other Summoning Animals tied to contract: N/A Description and Background:
The Quetzal is a bird that was held sacred by a long lost warrior race. The warriors lived in small settlements located in a tropical forest inside the Land of Fire. These people were among the first civilizations of the Land of Fire. Traveling and exploration defined this era. The world was still young and not yet completely discovered. As history has shown with exploration comes the expansion of territories and the beginnings of new generations. Races fade into obscurity while others prosper and grow with the passing of time. The prior fate would befall the warrior race that held the Quetzal as sacred.
The Quetzal is a medium size bird that weighs 7-8 oz and is 14-16 in tall. It is an incredibly beautiful bird whose body is composed of several colors including bright green, blue, red, and gold. The Quetzal has two long twin tail feathers that extend from the back of its body. The twin tail feathers grow to be about 2 ft in length.

The tropical forest that was home to the ancient warrior race was also home to the Quetzal. The twin feathers of the Quetzal were valued commodities amongst the villagers. The villagers however did not hunt the Quetzal but lived in harmony with them. The Quetzal was also well known for its beautiful singing voice which surpassed all other birds. During this time the Quetzal had entirely green chests which differ from their looks today. As time passed on outside explorers would eventually discover this tropical forest. The explorers cared little for the customs and traditions of the ancient warriors. They decided to expand their territory and wipe out the ancient warrior race. This caused a war that raged on in the tropical forest for several years. The explorers would eventually win the war destroying the tropical forest in the process. During the last battle of the war the village chief was fighting with his dying breaths. As he fought his last battle a Quetzal flew down from the sky and distracted his opponent. In the end it wasn't enough and the village chief was slain. He fell to the ground and as he was grasping his last breaths the Quetzal flew down and laid on his chest. His chest was soaked in blood and stained the green feathers of the Quetzal turning it a deep red hue. This formed a bond between the chief and the Quetzal. The chief died immediately afterwards. After the war the Quetzal became an endangered species but a few still exist in other tropical forests.

Summoning Animal: Seahorse ♞ Scroll Owner: McRazor Other Users who have signed contract: -Cobalt-, DRAGYZ, Yashiro, Perception Summoning Boss if existing: N/A Other Summoning Animals tied to contract: N/A Description and Background:
Seahorses live in almost every sea and ocean around the world and there are currently 54 recognized species. They are one of the most majestic creatures found on earth, with seahorse mythology being found worldwide. Seahorses are renowned for their unique morphological features. The seahorse is a blend of a host of diverse creatures. The seahorse is said to have a head of a horse, a snout of an aardvark, eyes of a chameleon, pouch of a kangaroo and the tail of a monkey.

Seahorses are truly unique, and not just because of their unusual equine shape. Because of their body shape, seahorses are rather inept swimmers. In fact, Seahorses prefer to rest in one area, sometimes holding with their tails on to the same coral or seaweed for days. They beat their fins very quickly, up to 50 times a second, but they do not swim quickly. They are, however, very maneuverable and able to move up, down, forward or backward at great speed but only short distances. Although they are bony fish, they do not have scales but rather thin skin stretched over a series of bony plates, which are arranged in rings throughout their body. Each species has a distinct number of rings which gives them an unique protective armor. Its body can be compressed to half its normal size without lasting damage. The body’s resilience comes from its structure: approximately 36 square segments, each made of four bony plates. The plates connect to the spinal column’s vertebrae with collagen and can glide past one another, keeping the spine safe. This allows them to survive physical and pressure damage up to a single B rank, two C rank or four D rank techniques, before dispersing to their homelands.

Since the Seahorses are marine animals they require a water source in order to be summoned or can summon a water source with themselves, if none is on the battlefield. If being summoned in a water source they can be summoned up to mid range from the user, however, if they are summoned with a water source then it can only be done up to short range form the user. Seahorses are experts at camouflage which enables them to change color to match their habitat, helping them fend of predators. While feeding they produce a distinctive click each time a food item is ingested. The same clicks are heard with social interactions. This gives them the ability to communicate with their summoner, once he learns their clicking language which is achieved after finishing the training and adopting to the animal. Unusual among fish, seahorses have a flexible, well-defined neck and eyes that can move independently of each other which provides great awareness.
They mostly range from a few centimeters to a meter in size, while the boss summon is up to five meters and capable of protecting its summoner within its belly. Unlike any other animal species on the planet, Seahorses are the only males that become pregnant thus their belly pouch in which they carry the eggs during breeding season. The belly pouch has an oviduct which the user can use to enter or exit the pouch when in danger. Seahorses have a very unique chakra circulatory system which allows them to produce and manipulate water and wind techniques using their elongated snouts. They are also considered genjutsu masters and capable of producing powerful and unique illusions. Since they don't have hands they use the clicking noise as a medium for genjutsu.
